X-treme Activities @ PlanetCRuSH!!!

Posted on 5:07 PM No Comments
The June school holidays went by so quickly, it was almost impossible to believe that there were so many activities happening at our Cyber Wellness Center - The PlanetCRuSH.

Members of the PlanetCRuSH participated in the holiday activities aimed at getting them away from the cyberworld into"RL" (Real Life) or Real World.

Our youths had fun learning a new sport, Handball, and enjoyed the outdoors through a sandcastle building experience.

The sandcastle building experience had taught me to work well with people in my group. Building a sandcastle needs a lot of hardwork and teamwork is the most important thing to build a good sandcastle. I want to bring my parents down to build sandcastle together. - Yue Ming, 16

In the PlanetCRuSH Edition of the Amazing Race, the youths worked in groups, solving clues and discovering new things about Singapore as they traveled from Bukit Merah Central to Chinatown and all the way to the Esplanade.
Many made new friends and encountered new experiences through these activities.

If you have missed the "X-treme" activities this June, fret not! There'll be more of these in the pipeline for the December holidays.

Look out for our E-Sports Competition, X-treme Camp, and many more upcoming programmes!

For those who were part of the X-treme Activities June 2009, do share about your experience with others by leaving your comments.

What Can We do To Diversify?


1. What actions have I taken to stop myself from playing more MMOGs?

Example: "Uninstall the games from my computer. Do other activities such as asking friends out, playing sports or exercising. Basically, to do other forms of activities to fill up the time that was normally spent on MMOs. Play other types of games - Board games or play other forms of computer games that do not have MMO elements that have a start and an ending." - by Stevie

2. “A suggestion I have for young people is….”

Example: "... to try new things! Learn a new sport, new hobby, go travel or any other new life experiences. With so much to see and learn, you will be too busy to stay in front of the computer. You may even discover your life's passion through this!" - by Shem

PlanetCRuSH E-Sports Competition - SUCCESS!

Posted on 11:21 AM No Comments

The first PlanetCRuSH E-Sports competition in 2009 was held last week from 19th – 21st of March. It was a fun-filled and grueling competition where we see 9 different teams facing off for the top spots in our DOTA competition.

The competition was held at our PlanetCRuSH Cyber-wellness Center and saw close to 80 competitors and friends over the 3 days. The first 2 days saw the competitors fighting it out to make it to the top 2 teams in their group, before we ran the semi-final and final stages of our competition on the 3rd and final day.

The competition saw teams having to pit their wits and guts and work together to think, plan and execute strategies to overcome their opponents. At some stages of the games, it was so intense that there were periodic moments of silence in the house!

At our PlanetCRuSH Cyber-wellness Center, our DOTA E-Sports was not the only happening thing going on. Our Console Games room was also opened up for visitors to use and try. Players could be hitting the barracks of their DOTA opponents at one moment, and crossing finishing lines in Mario-Kart Wii at the next. It was a fun-filled time for everyone.

Alas, as with all competitions, only one team can be the winner. Team Slippers emerged as the Champions after an intensive battle with the 1st runner-up, Rise Stand Fight (RSF). We also saw Team Jarrell walk away with our 3rd placing prize.

Champions - Team Slippers

1st Runner-Up - Rise Stand Fight (RSF)

2nd Runner-Up - Team Jarrell

Congratulations to these teams! At the end of the day, everyone walked back with an important lesson about life – winning and losing is part of it, it is the
process that counts.

'Wrath of the Lich King' Launch

Posted on 4:43 PM No Comments

Today, a few of us decided to join the 'WoW' fun at the launch of 'Wrath Of the Lich King'.


Well, we were there around 11am when the main crowd around the entrance were the early-birds who were orderly and eagerly awaiting to collect their expansion packs. The queue snakes all the way round the corner to the adjacent street.

Everyone waiting patiently for the doors to be open for collection

By 11.30am, Carpenter Street was jam packed with avid WoW gamers who came to get their hands on THE box...

The alley next to SAFRA Town Club was jammed packed with people

Hearing from the people there, we gathered that the first in line started queueing since 5pm the day before! Kudos to them... for their enthusiasium and patience...
The sense of achievement and satisfaction for the first group in the queue

Once the clock struck 12 noon, the 'onslaught' begun and the first wave of 50 early birds were allowed access into SAFRA Town Club to collect their pre-ordered sets. Within 30 minutes, they started streaming out with huge boxes, immense glow on their faces and begin splitting the reward among the friends and guild members who were eagerly awaiting outside.

On average for the first wave, each person pre-ordered or collected about 8 sets of W.O.L.K

All cheers as everyone starts sharing the 'rewards' collected after hours of queuing

So... how was the expereince for us?... Well, we were anticipating some WoW factor with pomp and ceremony... but nothing much except some cos-play characters dressed up as the Blood Elf and the Lich King (some say he's a little shorter than expected... I suppose they imagined him to be some over-powering character in-game... =p )

Cosplay of Blood Elf and Lich King drew some attention

Watch this space for more as we document further entries of our experience in W.O.L.K!
